SARAVANAN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The heater worked well, the parking was crowded but sufficient. You get what you pay for so don’t expect too much. The floor needed cleaning both days of our stay. I mentioned it to office clerk. Everything else was clean.
Leilani, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean. The shower and sink had seen better days. Check in and check out was quick. No real amenities given…no coffee or tea unit in room, but there were shops and restaurants nearby.
Leonard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Should be Motel 10. Very clean and comfortable. I’ll stay here again and again and again to be close to my daughter and family.
Karen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hair on the bathroom floor, bed was creaky and slid on its base if sitting up against the wall. Comically small towels. Staff was nice though

Wayne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The surrounding city of Goleta is very nice to walk around to grab brunch, shop for snacks, or enjoy a nice dinner. The area is very safe and the property was located in a very convenient area that's only a 2 minute drive away from nearby stores. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in Goleta for a weekend trip.

6/10 Good

This is a very convenient location. I used stay here often to go visit our daughter at Ucsb. However, the price of the room during graduation weekend was outrageous.
Lisa, 3-night trip

I liked how you have a lot of places that are just a short walk from the motel
Francisco, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Actually this place was quite refreshing after a really not so great stay at another motel 6. This place was clean, quiet and really nice. I really enjoyed my stay here, only one night but the receptionist was quite friendly. I'd come back here, no problem. Great place to stay

It’s located close to UCSB. Near by food options across the street from drug store. Staff that checked us in was such a pleasure. She checked us in with ease. I was very please with my first stay at Motel 6.
Celia, 1-night trip

We are in town to pick our son up from school. One night, comfortable bed and clean room. Great price.
Rachel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Motel6 in Goleta was better than I expected. The room was very functional and somewhat updated, albeit a bit tight for two people with two beds... AC worked well and for my memories of Motel 6, the hotel (and AC) was quieter than usual. Very pleasant and helpful employees.

Great little stop, conveniently located next to the freeway and gas stations, cvs, grocery stores and dining facilities. Not far from Downton SB and local beaches .
